We couldn't get a guarantee but when you are booking the car you could ask for a preference for Isofix. Avis in France are slowly switching over to the system but as I say it's not fully implemented yet. Regards, Michael Hi John,

We are looking to book a car in Limoges with 2 isofix car seats (bases and the seats themselves). One for a 2 month old and one for a 2 year old. If we book sufficiently in advance, will we be able to request this? Regards John I appreciate that the Isofix system is not standard in all Avis cars.

I therefore could not guarantee that your seat would lock into our seats. Regards, Michael Hello JT

Each make is up to the usual European Safety Standard. Unfortunately we cannot say which make you will have on the day, but it will be a good make. As regards to fitting the seat, there will be someone there on the day to show you how to fit them, Thanks Michael-Avis UK Hello Wendy,

Cars that do have the ISOFIX fittings available don't have the bases fitted; these would need to be provided by the renter along with the actual seat itself. I hope that helps Chris Hi Patrice,

We will need infant seats. I have seen your previous replies re ISOFIX - my question is as follows: where the vehicle IS designed to take ISOFIX seats, do you provide just the seat (and we have to secure it with seat belts), or the seat PLUS the isofix base (the base is removable) but if you provide the base we can click the seats in and out. Or would we need to bring our own base units (large and heavy!) Many thanks We will be renting a large people carrier from you in Nice Airport in September. We will need infant seats.
